The programme provides practical laboratory-based training in lab safety, creating nanoparticles, aseptic technique, gram stains, ELISA, and finishes with the opportunity to present scientific research and network with researchers from institutions including the University of Liverpool, the University of Cambridge, Pfizer & the University of Aberdeen. The course content is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students who wish to refine their skills and better understand specific laboratory procedures. It is also ideal for applying for further research studies, scientific posts, or any more advanced courses offered by BioGrad Education. We ask students to design their own experiments and allow them to make (safe) mistakes and learn from them. We believe this helps students to develop independent research skills and gain confidence in their ability in the lab.
